5.00Layse was an excellent guide and really made the day a lot of fun. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly enjoys the mountains and the scenery. This was my first time to the area and was a perfect way to spent the day. I will certainly be back.
Strolling in the canyon, lunching by Lake Lewis, the trip was very satisfying. Thank you Ma Meng Ken for your kind arrangement.

5.00It's another ice world day, strolling through the canyons and lunching by Lake Lewis. The trip is very satisfactory and thanks to Ma Guanken for his careful arrangements. The lunch steak was particularly good, the snow was just right outside the window and the timing was just right. I was lucky to have Ma Meng Ken with me for the whole two days, and thank Ma Meng again for his care and attention.

5.00Honestly one of my favorite days in Canada. Our guide kept the vibe super chill but also shared tons of cool facts. Marble Canyon was unreal in winter, and Lake Louise looked like a postcard. smooth ride, no rush, just a really good day.
